Emergency Preparedness Toolkit The safety and security of students, faculty, staff and the entire University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee Community has always been a top priority of the University’s leadership, and is an integral part of our commitment to excellence. Recognizing the increased risks of the world today, UWM has enhanced its preparedness to deal with emergencies of any sort by upgrading and integrating the various emergency response and disaster recovery plans that have been in place for most of the University’s critical operations, and a comprehensive pre- through post-emergency response plan covering all UWM locations and operations of the University.
